With this approval, the project moves into the construction phase, while the expropriation process will also begin in parallel. Minister of Infrastructure and Energy Enea Karakaçi announced that discussions on how to connect the Kashar-Rrogozhinë section with the Tirana Bypass have now been completed and that the project is ready for implementation. According to him, following the ARRSH decision, the ministry will immediately begin expropriation procedures, with the aim of starting work within the year.
This section of the Blue Corridor follows on from the Thumanë-Kashar route and will be built to Category A standards. With a length of 33.5 kilometres, the motorway aims to create a more direct north-south connection and ease traffic along one of the country’s busiest corridors, Tirana-Durrës.
Describing the project as part of a package of strategic investments in road infrastructure, Karakaçi stressed that it aims to improve connections within the country and better integrate Albania into the European transport network.
As one of the most important sections of the Blue Corridor, the Kashar-Rrogozhinë motorway plays a key role in strengthening the north-south connection and improving Albania’s access to European transport corridors.
